Not to be confused with Spiking the Ball! Also, It is not a foul if the passer is or has been outside the tackle box and throws the ball so that it crosses or lands beyond the neutral zone or neutral zone extended. And then there’s an exception to the exception: This applies only to the player who controls the snap or the resulting backward pass and does not relinquish possession to another player before throwing the forward pass. So if it is Intentional it gets a pretty harsh penalty depending where the team is on the play of field. 1. The offense is penalized 10 yards from the line of scrimmage, or (in the NFL only) to the spot of the pass if that is less advantageous. 2. The offense loses the down rather than replaying the down, as is the case for most other penalties. 3. If the quarterback threw the pass from his team's own end zone, the penalty results in a safety being scored by the defense. 4. Like many offensive penalties, intentional grounding committed near the end of either half results in a ten second runoff of the game clock, if the defense desires. This ensures that intentional grounding is not an effective means of clock management. Is this considered Irony or Ironic? Most likely just Moronic! |
